Please, show me a single real world example where “donkey meat” is being sold or consumed. I’m not speaking about something I researched online. I live in Argentina and have travelled to many different cities there as well.
Uhhhh… I have been to Argentina. I was there a long time. Can’t say I saw donkey meat. Also doesn’t mean it is not there, or eaten. All I can do it tell you what the Argentinien government has to say about it.
Unfortunately as I apparently can’t research it online… And I live in Germany… I can’t fulfill your request as it would require me to go to Argentina to satisfy some dude on reddit. Sorry dude? Don’t know what you want.
“the government” did not talk about donkey meat at all. Maybe you should read the article before posting anything? Also, I didn’t live a “long time” in Argentina, I lived there my whole life. And I can confim that this story is absolutely false.
Chillll… Its just donkey meat and the internet. The government does in fact talk about it. They publish reports about animal meat production and consumption like every nation. It’s part of their annual reports that prove a point that I really don’t care about at all. If you want to say they only eat cow in Argentina because you know best and no one can use internet sources to prove you wrong… Fine. Great. I don’t know what to say. You won this internet battle! Yay!
They don’t talk about meat, but not “donkey” meat. Because it’s not used for human consumption. You’re more than welcome to prove me wrong, but you haven’t. I believe that already speaks for itself.
And yeah this type of news bothers me because it promotes an erroneous idea of what Argentina is actually like. I once hosted a German student for a month and, while the guy was pretty chill, he was expecting my city to be full of cows and nature. Once I was watching How I Met Your Mother and when they go to Argentina they should either hippies on a beach living on what appears to be a jungle or an extremely run down hotel in Buenos Aires. Neither were even remotely close to real life.
Quotes and sources within and outside of Argentina news. (if you allow me to use the internet now for proof). It just takes a quick search for pages on info on it. Feel free and try the same.
They are eating donkeys now in Argentina and marketing it as beef is getting expensive
Chubut producer Julio Cittadini’s “Burros Patagones” project began commercial sales of donkey meat in April at 7,500 pesos per kilogram, compared to approximately 18,564 pesos per kilogram for beef — roughly 40% of the bovine price.
With beef prices hitting 25,000 pesos, the legalization of donkey slaughter reveals the rawest side of the Casa Rosada’s fiscal adjustment.

Ok, finally found the source of all of this ridiculousness. Here you can see where they’re supposedly selling this meat. It’s a single butcher shop in the whole country and what they’re doing is literally illegal. There are no bromatology processes to ensure that this type of meat is safe for human consumption because it’s not approved by our national organisms. You literally cannot legally sell donkey meat in the country.
The only reason most news stories are about people in “Argentina” consuming this is engagement. That’s it. If the title were “single butcher shop in Argentina sells illegal meat to offer lower prices” then people might not be as interested.
This whole thing is a big ol’ nothingburger. That’s why most national news outlets aren’t even covering it.
